In reality, it may be a lot to handle. Fortunately, there are several steps you can take ahead of time to make your move to Tulsa and Oklahoma City less stressful than it may be otherwise.
Though the task will never be totally seamless, these three steps can help reduce your tension.
Moving always means changing your permanent address. Critical documents, websites, and service providers will all need to be notified. Handling these tasks ahead of time may allow you to check this chore off your schedule and concentrate more completely on your new home when you get there.
If you relocate to a new state, however, you have the extra chore of procuring a new driver's license too. As with the change of address rules, most states have a set time period by which you must exchange your old license for a new one, so make sure that you confirm with your new state's DMV website to fully grasp the amount of time in which getting a new license will be needed.
Some states call for an in-person visit to the DMV, others allow you to take care of the entire process online. Accomplishing this step pre-move may lessen the transition and free up important settling-in time in your new state of residence—especially during the pandemic, when concerns of virus spread complicate even the simplest tasks.
In one sense, a state-to-state move is like a road trip and a move all bundled into one. Not only are you packing up all your worldly possessions for transportation, but you are additionally preparing to spend at likely a day or two road-tripping to reach your new town.
Before you get to the last chores of packing up, always be certain to take a moment to pack bags for yourself (and, if applicable, for your family) which will incorporate everything you'll require for the following couple of days travelling:
Additionally don't forget about your furry family members! Be sure they have several days' worth of supplies packed up in addition.
All moving companies have specialties. While a few are professionals at local relocations, others have built systems and structures to support interstate and cross-country moves. If interviewing possible moving companies in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, always be sure to ask direct questions about their skills and areas of expertise. Be sure to check out consumer reviews, question friends and contacts and take their knowledge into consideration.
